If you struggle with sexual dysfunction or have aversive reactions to sex and have wondered if there are people out there who can help, you may want to consider working with a sexual surrogate. Sex Therapy Los Angeles
According to Tara Livingston, sexual surrogate and sex educator, “By definition a sexual surrogate, or surrogate partner, is a professional who helps clients overcome sexual dysfunction. Most surrogates are women, a few are men and there are also married couples that practice surrogacy together. The general term of sexual surrogacy can involve varying levels of practice. Some surrogates work at counseling centers while others have their own office. Some surrogates offer additional services besides surrogacy such as telephone counseling or sexological bodywork.”

- Establishing a foundation for continued recovery.
- Integrating recovery routines into the couple relationship.
- Reestablishing trust in the relationship.
- Preventing relapse.

Have you lost interest in sex in your marriage? Do you wonder if this is “normal” or do you blame your partner? Do you struggle with whether you should move on? Do you dream of finding the “perfect” mate?
These are often asked questions that can silently pain individuals and keep them stuck in unhappy marriages. Although talking about sex can be difficult, living without it can be cause shame, depression, and/or low self-esteem. Challenging yourself to get into couples therapy and speak the unspeakable is the first step to getting “unstuck” and starting to feel alive again. Sex Therapy Los Angeles
